Someone Called Me Hardened Today

One of my co-workers was whining and sniveling and I told her to either knock it off or fix the problem but stop sniveling it was giving in to the negative energy. She told me I was hard and rude. I said you know what you just don't like the truth. I came to realize that if you want warm, fuzzy support I'm not your girl, but if you want a kick in the tuchas and someone to walk down lifes path with you laughing and making the journey more fun, that's me. Let me apologize to you all if i've been less then kind to you, my intention is never to hurt anyone's feelings I really adore you all way too much for that. I am going to call you on foolish stuff and I expect you to do the same to me. Please know that If i'm supporting you all and cheering you on it's because i believe in you and I want to do it. I'm not one of those people who feels responsible for everyone she meets. You guys are the only ones in my life who understand that this road we have chosen to take is not always paved and some days it's downright treacherous. Please know that you are in my hearts and that i believe we can make it to goal together and in our own time. Cheer those on who have made it to goal before you so that they will cheer you when you reach your milestones. Let's celebrate our milestones together. The odds that i make it to goal by my one year anniversary are slim but i'm plugging along and I'll get there when G*D wants me there. Be Well, ANDI

Oh Andi!!! Don't let her get to ya!! She was definetly whining to get attention!!& you just told her the truth!! Let me tell you when I am really down & need the warm & fuzzies I know which of my friends are going to give that to me!!& when I truely deep down know I need a swift kick in the right direction I know which ones will do that too!! I go to them accordingly!! I like having that assortment of friends!!They give me what I need when I need it!!You are exactly what we need!!You keep us going!!You are so right we need to cheer each other on!!Pass the hugs when needed as well as the swift kicks in the rear!!We will all get to goal when it is in G*D's time!! Don't put a time limit on it!! Why 1 yr anniversary!! We all know we will continue to lose to at least between 12-18 months!! & even Tooter continued to lose well after that!!SO keep your chin up girl!!IT WILL HAPPEN!! ~Missy~

Dont worry about her Andi, she's just saying whatever she thinks will get to you!!! You can't listen to the haters, hehehe. I wouldn't worry too much about not making by your year mark, you will loose as long as you stay on track. I don't understand the 12-18 months comment, we are still people right.... cal. in vs. energy out = weight loss You can do this!!! *big hugs* Jacqui

Thank you so much for your support i needed it right about now, I was contemplating a big bad breakfast but now i'll go for my usual not big not bad breakfast. Hugs, aNDI

Thank you so much for saying the words i really needed to hear when i needed to hear them. I really and truly thought the one year anniversary was going to be a magic time with me at goal and strolling around in a swimsuit when the reality is quite a bit different. Hugs, ANDI

I have been told that too, so In my eyes your in good company....LOL I dont think I will make goal in 1 year either. but I will plug along slow and steady....... like a freken snail...LOL LOL

I don't mind the company at all Jean'Bean! I think "Like A Freakin' Snail" should be a topic one of these days because there are just some folks bouncing to goal and then there are those of us who plug it along with the 1/2 lb a week i swear it feels like bad weigh****chers all over again! Hugs, ANDI

Andi.. Andi.. Andi.. I say kick her in the groin... you are one of the most supportive people on the boards.. you know when to tell us to suck it up and when to give us that much needed.. it will be ok.. so dont let her get to her.. I always look forward to your post.. you make me smile and laugh more than anyone.. I just love u to death.. apparently she just doesnt know you like we do or she would have never said that.. smile girl.. she aint worth it.. I know we will all be standing there at the finishline together celebrating life, our goals, our good health and each other.. Carla
